Archroma, the Swiss specialty-chemicals pioneer, is once again raising the bar in textile innovation—this time by rolling out a powerful new washing-off solution and forging high-tech partnerships to reshape the dyeing and finishing landscape.
🚀 1. CYCLANON XC‑W e: Fast, Green & Clean Washing-Off Innovation
Days ago, Archroma introduced CYCLANON XC‑W e, a next-gen auxiliary agent that significantly improves reactive-dye washing-off:
- Reduces process time by up to 15%
- Cuts water usage & CO₂ emissions by 20%
- Boosts throughput—1 MT more fabric daily per 10 MT/day plant
This efficiency leap not only enhances productivity but also reduces resource waste—marking a tangible win for mills committed to sustainability Indian Textile Magazine+15Textile World+15Pakistan Textile Journal+15.
🔄 2. SUPER SYSTEMS+ Integration & Industry Synergies
CYCLANON XC‑W e is part of Archroma’s SUPER SYSTEMS+ IMPACT+ platform, tailored for high-resource efficiency and regulatory compliance (GOTS, ZDHC, bluesign) Archroma+3Textile World+3TEXINTEL+3.
At the same time, Archroma’s recent partnership with Monforts and BW Converting’s Baldwin TexCoat G4 sprayer brings digital finishing into pilot production—pushing mills toward faster, more precise, and lower-emission finishing processes Pakistan Textile Journal+13TexSPACE Today+13Textile World+13.
🌐 3. Earning Recognition for Clean Production
The Panyu site in Guangzhou was recently awarded “Outstanding Unit for Clean Production in 2025” by local authorities. This award reflects Archroma’s commitment to process optimization, emission controls, and resource reduction at a plant level Archroma+2Archroma+2Archroma+2.
📢 Why It Matters
| Priority | Strategic Benefit |
|---|---|
| Efficiency & Sustainability | CYCLANON XC‑W e cuts water, CO₂, time—and improves mill yields. |
| Technology Ecosystem | SUPER SYSTEMS+ and high-tech partnerships create adaptable, compliant systems. |
| Operational Excellence | Awards and recognition from clean-production officials validate progress. |
These developments show Archroma is blending chemistry and digital integration to help the textile industry meet today’s demands—economic, environmental, and regulatory.
👀 What’s Coming Up
- Rollout of CYCLANON XC‑W e across global mills—viewed as a benchmark for eco-efficient wash-off.
- Expansion of digital finishing pilots (TexCoat + SUPER SYSTEMS+) in Asia and Europe.
- Further recognition and awards for clean-production efforts across more facilities.
